California Home Buyers Offer More for a Staged Home

April 20, 2015 By Ken Guthrie Leave a Comment

Here’s some documented evidence showing what home buyers are willing to offer on a home that is professionally staged. Up to 32% of buyers would offer 1% to 5% more for a home that is staged. On a $500,000 home, that could mean up to $25,000 more for the seller.

Not only that, but up to 20% of buyers would pay between 6% and 20% more for that same staged home. Do the math, and you’ll see that when you decide to sell, staging your home is an absolute must.

🏡 Good People, Great Homes!

Halloween is one night when more people than usual Halloween is one night when more people than usual walk right up to your front door. 🎃⁣
⁣
It's worth looking at your house the way they will.⁣
⁣
Is the walkway lit, or does everyone find the step the hard way? Does the front door look cared for, or has it been three winters since it was painted? Are the house numbers readable from the street? Is there anything on the porch that's been "temporary" since last spring?⁣
⁣
None of this is about decorating. It's the same first-impression list a buyer notices in the ten seconds between the car and the front door — and Halloween gives you a rare chance to watch how people actually approach the house.⁣
⁣
If you're thinking about listing in the spring, walk out to the sidewalk on the 31st and look back at your house. You'll see it.⁣
⁣
What's the first thing you'd fix? Let us know in the comments.⁣

5 Ways AI makes owning a home easier AI isn't j 5 Ways AI makes owning a home easier
AI isn't just changing how people find homes. It can make owning one easier, too. 🤖🏡
Five ways homeowners are putting it to work:
1️⃣ Maintenance reminders — ask it to build a seasonal checklist for your home's age and climate
2️⃣ Energy tune-ups — find the settings and small swaps that actually lower your bills
3️⃣ Seeing changes first — preview a paint idea before you commit to it
4️⃣ Decoding documents — paste in a warranty or a quote and ask what it actually says
5️⃣ Sanity-checking bids — compare a contractor quote against typical ranges before you sign
It won't make the big decisions for you, but it saves real time on everything around them.
Which of these have you tried? Let us know in the comments.
